Oil pump issues


Recommended Posts

Posted

I own a 2015 Silverado LT. 

at 76000 miles I lost oil pressure and saw the “ shut engine down, loss of oil pressure” on my dash. Had it towed in and they told me the oil pump had to be replaced. They covered it under warranty. 

Two weeks ago, mileage now at 80,000, I started my truck after work. Engine ran extremely rough for 5 seconds when a message of, “engine power reduced” came on followed by (once again), “ loss of engine oil pressure”.  

Once again I had it towed into the dealer who stated that unfortunately my warranty was done just two days previous to the second issue. 

He said he would check to see what the problem was and see if Chevy would cover it. That was over two weeks ago......no return call yet.

Wouldn’t there be some type of warranty on the oil pump installation if Chevy bails on the warranty?

Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Genuine GM parts are warranted for 12months/12,000miles if you fall under this category. If not GM should step up to the plate for two days out of warranty for the same problem that was fixed four thousand miles ago.

If it’s a problem they have already addressed, it should be covered with or without a warranty. Take your truck to a different dealership.

Thank you guys for the reply. Will post an update. Hopefully good news. 

 

Update:

it took two months and a phone call to Chevy but they WILL cover the blown engine. 

So at 76,000 oil pump failed

80,000 oil pump failed again and took the engine with it. 

Out of warranty by less than two days. 

Chevy agreed to cover engine. 

THANK YOU CHEVY FOR STEPPING UP.

    • Done. I'll have more productive conversations with a hickory stump. Carry on! Keep the blindfolds on TIGHT!

    • I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.
    • WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

    • He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
